American goes to a RUSSIAN WEDDING 💍

How do Russians celebrate their wedding? With lots of music, fun, vibrant colors, dancing, some fighting 😱, delicious food, bread and salt, and of course love! ❤️ I went to a Russian wedding festival at VDNH hosted by the Russia Expo Forum to really get a closer look at this celebration. The wedding festival was held throughout the week, and in total 221 couples got married! I guess 2024 really is the year of the family in Russia! It was a touching sight to see, and I got to know the special customs and traditions that Russians incorporate into their wedding day. As an American living in Russia, this festival made me realize that Russian weddings are so much FUN! So, if you’re planning to marry a Russian, this video will help you out! Just don’t forget to invite a gypsy band to the wedding! 💃 If you’d like to visit the Russia Expo Forum: Stay up to date on my adventures, don’t forget to like 👍 & subscribe! 🔔 If you’d like to support me ❤️ 📧 For collaborations or inquiries: sashameetsrussia@ 📸 — for more content and behind the scenes of living in Russia 🎬 @sashameetsrussia - extra videos about my life in Russia 00:00 Why am I in a wedding salon? 01:06 Russian WEDDING FESTIVAL! 02:07 Russian folk songs and dances 🇷🇺 3:00 Gypsies at a Russian wedding?! 💃🏻 04:18 Largest mass wedding ceremony! 04:42 I DO 💍 04:55 Putin declares 2024 as the year of the family! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 05:18 Crazy Russian bread tradition! 🍞 06:07 Russian wedding fight?! 06:20 Carry the bride over a bridge… 06:40 Holy flame of love 🔥 07:17 Russian bridal dresses! 👰🏻‍♀️ 9:00 You may kiss the bride! 🎉 09:10 A very special surprise…💍
